At this time it is still unknown exactly what object was spotted moving toward earth for the past several weeks as the provided images from NASA Stereo Telescopes are only 2 dimensional in nature.
The object which was referenced in a previous article entitled Breaking: Massive New Object Moving Toward Earth Now? – Jupiter Struck in September could potentially be the comet C/2012 V4 which can be viewed on NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s official website.
According to SunsFlare, “I am not very worried about this at all… it is about 1.7 solar distances from earth at this point… while it will be interesting to watch, it’s nothing to be worried about what so ever.â€Â
Although SunsFlare admits another object 2012 DA14 is of interest approaching earth around February 15, 2013 when it will only be about 18,591 miles from earth. A very close pass as the moon is only 238,000 away from earth on average.
“This is more on my radar now than anythingâ€Â, said SunsFlare
Then there is the asteroid 4179 Toutatis that passes this week. Rachel Kaufman reports,

Toutatis is approximately 4 miles wide
sorry my mistake 2.7 miles ish...
Still not something youd want on your house...
We seem to be lucky with these buggers at the minute being near yet so far...
Lets hope our luck keeps up for a long time to come.
